Patting her little belly, Fujiwara Chika, who wasn't full at all, heard someone calling her.
She turned her head in surprise, seeing Fujiwara Tetsu wearing a hat.
Naturally, he couldn't wear a mask while eating, but Fujiwara Tetsu still wanted to keep a low profile as much as possible, so wearing a hat was better than nothing.
Fujiwara Chika didn't recognize Fujiwara Tetsu immediately.
Although she already knew she had an older brother named Fujiwara Tetsu, and had watched his videos online many times.
But the internet is, after all, different from reality. It takes careful observation to recognize her older brother from reality at a glance.
Haibara Ai, also eating, glanced sideways at Fujiwara Tetsu striking up a conversation with a young girl.
Her cold gaze quickly assessed Fujiwara Chika. Instead, it was Fujiwara Chika who was startled.
"Wow, this elementary school student's eyes are so scary!"
Haibara Ai noted Fujiwara Chika's delicate and adorable face, especially staring fixedly at her chest for two glances. She inwardly snorted:
Forget it, a twenty-year-old man is just past the peak of hormone secretion. He's just letting the chemical hormones in his body influence his brain's thinking, which is why he's striking up conversations with pretty girls with big chests. You can't entirely blame him.
Haibara Ai immediately used all sorts of knowledge she had learned and began to comfort herself.
Fujiwara "Six-Six-Three" Tetsu looked at Fujiwara Chika, this sister by name.
As the child of his uncle's family, their relationship should be first cousins.
But Fujiwara Tetsu preferred to call her cousin. He felt the address 'cousin' sounded a bit more intimate.
This might be influenced by certain works*, as if calling someone 'cousin' means she's the person you'll marry in the future.
"You might not know me, but your dad's father should have mentioned me, right?"
Fujiwara Tetsu removed his hat, revealing his entire face.
Instantly, Fujiwara Chika recognized him. She directly leaped up from her chair, covering her mouth and exclaiming, "Older brother!!"
Fujiwara Chika's exclamation also attracted the attention of other diners around. Some looked over, first subconsciously assessing Fujiwara Chika, as young girls are always more likely to attract attention than men.
As for Haibara Ai, because she was too young and looking at her too much could be considered inappropriate, people subconsciously ignored her.
And when they followed Fujiwara Chika's gaze and saw Fujiwara Tetsu, someone immediately recognized him.
"Is that Fujiwara Tetsu?"
"Fujiwara Tetsu? Is it that Fujiwara Tetsu who defeated multiple knife-wielding thugs by himself in the video?"
"Yes, it's him! He is now being called the 'Neon' Superhero by the media!"
"..."
The diners began whispering excitedly.
Hearing these words in his ears, Fujiwara Tetsu also felt a wave of helplessness.
As everyone knows, it's a habit of people from Neon to casually come up with nicknames. What kind of bullshit 'Neon Superhero'? Don't tell me people will start calling me 'Captain Neon' from now on!
Can these titles help me become Prime Minister? If they can, then I don't mind being called that.
Although there was a commotion in the ramen shop, no one came over to bother Fujiwara Tetsu.
It wasn't because these diners were particularly well-mannered. The main reasons were that Fujiwara Tetsu's combat power was too strong, and also the group of black-clad people who were found protecting Fujiwara Tetsu at this time.
"That Fujiwara Tetsu actually has so many bodyguards?"
"With his strength, does he even need bodyguards?"
"Look at the family crest on the old man at the front, these are people from the Fujiwara family. Fujiwara Tetsu isn't from the Fujiwara family, is he?"
"Which Fujiwara family?"
"Which other Fujiwara family is there in Kyoto? The most famous one among the Kazoku."
"..."
The existence of the Kazoku, the former Japanese noble class, wasn't a secret. Any Japanese citizen who paid attention to national politics knew about it.
And those capable members of the Kazoku didn't mind showing the strength and privileges they possessed, especially those with deep family roots; they were even more proud of their own family.
The old butler leading them also saw Fujiwara Chika. He said in surprise: "Second Young Lady, how are you here, and all by yourself?"
The old butler looked around. No one was accompanying her; it was just Fujiwara Chika alone. This indicated that Fujiwara Chika had run out by herself.
"Hehe, I just wanted to come to Ramen Road Rock* to try ramen from different places with different flavors."
Fujiwara Chika's eyes shifted left and right, her smile was awkward, and cold sweat beaded on her forehead.
Towards this stern-faced old butler, she was still a little afraid.
Although Fujiwara Chika's personality was lively and unpredictable, she would obey the various family rules of the Fujiwara family and rarely made mistakes. One could tell at a glance that she had received this structured and restrictive education since childhood.
The old butler's face was stern. He said strictly, "Neon hasn't been peaceful lately, Second Young Lady. What if you encounter danger running out like this?"
Fujiwara Chika muttered, "I also run around like this in Tokyo."
The old butler's eyes darkened slightly. Fujiwara Chika immediately covered her mouth, not daring to say more.
Fujiwara Tetsu smoothed things over at this moment, saying, "Tomorrow is Grandfather's birthday banquet. It's a happy day, so let's not concern ourselves with such unlucky matters, alright?"
Also, Chika isn't without things to do. She seems to be a high school student now. She's not young anymore; she can make decisions about some things herself.
Saying this, Fujiwara Tetsu glanced towards the old butler.
Just one glance made this old butler, who had served the Fujiwara family for many years and seen countless high officials and noble figures, feel a strange sense of fear.
He sighed in his heart. As expected of the young master valued by the old master. Throughout the entire Fujiwara family, whether the main branch or the side branches, in terms of ability, truly no one could surpass him.
Little did he know that the reason he felt fear wasn't because Fujiwara Tetsu had the aura of a superior person; it was simply the murderous aura from crawling out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Within ten steps, one person is equivalent to an enemy state*. Even if an ancient emperor faced someone like Fujiwara Tetsu at such a close distance, he would feel afraid.
With Fujiwara Tetsu speaking like this, the old butler also didn't dare to make a sound.
Fujiwara Chika, who had been acting pitiful, saw this and immediately leaped up in delight, excitedly hugging Fujiwara Tetsu's arm:
"It's still best to have an older brother! Since I was little, I wished I had an older brother, but my dad is just too useless!"
Fujiwara Tetsu's mouth twitched. This girl's personality... it's hard to say.
Haibara Ai, sitting to Fujiwara Tetsu's right, saw that this pink-haired, exceptionally well-figured young girl was actually Fujiwara Tetsu's sister. She immediately felt relieved.
What was I worried about just now.
Haibara Ai picked up noodles with her chopsticks and sucked them up forcefully, as if venting her frustrations with the ramen.
Fujiwara Chika only then noticed Haibara Ai and asked, "Huh? Who is this little girl?"
Haibara Ai swallowed the noodles in her mouth. With her arms crossed and head lowered, she glanced at Fujiwara Chika and said, "You are the little girl! Don't judge someone's age just based on their appearance..."
Fujiwara Chika froze for a moment. She covered her mouth with her hand again and exclaimed in surprise, "Aren't you an elementary school student?"
"I already have a doctorate."
Fujiwara Chika assessed Haibara Ai again. She seemed to understand something, and with tears in her eyes, she said sadly, "I understand now. So you are sick. It's that illness where you never grow up."
"That's truly too pitiful! Even with such a serious illness, you can still get a doctorate. That's really amazing! My grades in class are only average. I should really learn from you."
Haibara Ai almost spat out a mouthful of ramen soup.
I'm F*cking...!
Haibara Ai was so angry at this moment, all she wanted to do was curse her out. Was this girl's brain sick?
A normal person's thinking, upon seeing me say this, would probably think I'm just a child pretending to be mature and just laugh it off!
Especially with Fujiwara Chika making fun of her own grades, it was practically like she was cursing out Haibara Ai in different ways.
But looking at Fujiwara Chika's foolish appearance, Haibara Ai for a moment didn't know if she was too clever or if she was speaking without thinking.
This woman is terrifying! Even with all my strength, I cannot defeat her! 4.4.4
Haibara Ai decided ignorance was bliss and diligently ate her ramen.
Fujiwara Tetsu quickly changed the subject and said, "Chika, you said just now you weren't full?"
When it came to ramen, Fujiwara Chika immediately stopped dwelling on the issue of her father's infidelity and nodded repeatedly: "I'm preparing to order another bowl."
Fujiwara Tetsu pushed the ramen he didn't like (too salty) in front of her and said, "I don't like salty food. How about you eat this bowl? I only ate a few bites just now. If you don't want to..."
Before Fujiwara Tetsu could finish speaking, Fujiwara Chika snatched his bowl, still holding the chopsticks Fujiwara Tetsu had used for dumplings, and said without the slightest bit of disgust:
"I'm starting! Let me, Ramen Sage Fujiwara Chika, finish off this ramen!"
Gulp, gulp!
Fujiwara Tetsu watched with a smile as Fujiwara Chika finished a bowl of ramen in just two or three bites.
Although this girl's thought process was bizarre, she wasn't shy at all, she was a natural conversationalist, and she didn't have the bad habits of a pampered young lady. She was a very cute sister, and she could even make people laugh.
After Fujiwara Chika finished eating the ramen, she covered her bulging belly and said something like 'Older brother, I can't eat anymore,' words that made people imagine things, and returned to the Fujiwara family residence with Fujiwara Tetsu.
